I do not get this. You have to buy the book to break the DRM. Then you can distribute a DRM free copy. So it is as was pointed out above enough that one person buy the book and break the DRM for it to be available to download.

Were would you get a DRM:ed copy if you did not buy it? You might get it from a friend but why would you want to get this copy instead of downloading a DRM free copy?
